So what do you propose we do?
top priority is get republicans (fascists) out of power at the federal and local level. until that happens, there will be no discussion, no debate, and if they win this year, no VOTING at all. you think the genocide is bad with biden? LOL just google some of the things trump has said about how to deal with pro-palestine protesters
There's nothing more Biden could've done to help Israel kill Palestinians than what he's done in the past 8 months. There is physically no way that the genocide is gonna "get worse under Trump." We're already giving bombs and money to Israel faster that they can use them, and there is no act of depravity that will turn either the Democratic or Republican parties away from unrelenting support of the genocide.
You want to come up with a line of reasoning that absolves you for cheerleading for genocide, but history will show that every American that voted for either one of these geriatric demons was more interested in maintaining their treats than applying pressure to their political establishment to end the genocide. You're no better than a German cheering on the Freikorps, and asking the ghosts of the dead communists to voot against Hitler.
Ah yes, I forgot the solution to ending an ongoing genocide is to vote for the president carrying it out

Heaven just got a new Reply Guy
I'm simply pointing out the idiocy in you literally doing the '99% hitler v 100% hitler argument'
By all means, get all self righteous and sanctimonious about people not voting for a guy who enacted a border shutdown bill, who has literally circumvented Congress to run guns to Israel, and countless other atrocities
Let me know where that 'lesser evilism' gets you; you'll be back here in four years again. Every four years.
lmao
I donate to groups abroad to help negate the damage your guy does while in office, and I volunteer my time to help as well. But you're really telling on yourself here by thinking 'voting' is the only thing that makes a difference here. Why are you even here and not on Reddit in your insular, liberal echo chamber? You clearly are only after that.
Are you still out here claiming that Isreal controls the US?
RemindMe! 4 years
That'd be tight. Then I wouldn't have to hear about American election every 2 years because your cycles last so.fucking long they neve seem to end and the result would be the same anyway
Listen here Jack, if I'm going to support a one-party state it's not going to be one made up of a bunch of corporate liberals.
If you believe this, then why is Trump allowed to run at all?!?! Why aren't there calls to outlaw the republican party?
How do you get republicans (fascists) out of power at the federal level when Democrats at the federal level are friends with many republicans (fascists), covet republican (fascist) votes, and openly advocates having a strong republican (fascist) party? You're saying we should get rid of fascists by voting for the people who help fascism?
Nothing could possibly go wrong doing that. No historical precedent for that being a bad idea
